Detroit turned out great in spite of Cage, as if the game itself were rebelling against his influence. It is the only David Cage game that is enjoyable on its own merit and not because it is a nonsensical mess. Which is remarkable because it doesn't even have David Bowie in it!

packetmantis posted:Ah yes, the game with DLC to re-enslave your freed android. Setting the menu android free only really works once from a gameplay perspective, and her absence detracts from future playthroughs because of the way she comments on your decisions throughout. Seeing as there are wildly-branching paths encouraging multiple playthroughs, having an option to put her back was the right call. Don Gato posted:If you had to deal with her dumbass brother on a regular basis while being expected to look calm and collected, you'd also find a hobby to express all your pent up rage. That's exactly how I saw it too. Jacob pissed her off, now some poor brawler three times her size is going to get his arm broken in three places and all the tendons torn to shreds.

food court bailiff posted:The story mode in Injustice 2 is weirdly good for either a fighting game or a superhero game, the fact that it exists in a fighting game about superheroes is some kind of insane anomaly. The moment in Injustice 1 where Normal Batman finally convinces Injustice Batman to let him bring over Good Superman and the theme song starts as his emblem fades in was just such a wonderful superhero moment.

I don’t usually like DC stuff but something about Injustice 1 worked so well for me. I think it was taking the normal characters and mashing them into a “what if” story so they could really go nuts with it. The “what if”ers also meant they could kill characters with some significant development off. Went a long way to create some stakes.

"QTE for a Mundane Activity" isn't really a fair thing to ding David Cage games for. They actually have a specific reason to exist; so you can safely learn the various QTE methods in a stress-free way before being pushed into one that can affect your path or even chance of survival.

Seriously. The lack of these in the first Tomb Raider reboot game meant that during the first QTE sequence (the fight against some guy who's trying to kill you), I died about half a dozen times trying to figure out what key the 'foot' icon meant I needed to press.

So it didn't always simply tell you what button to press? (though it still took me some tries to understand at what point when the circle gets smaller it wants me to press it) Or is this from one of the later games in the reboot trilogy? That'd be an annoying downgrade.

That is nuts, I haven't replayed the first one but I've been dabbling in replaying the second one (Rise of the Tomb Raider) and the way it does QTEs is very nice - the same buttons you're using for similar actions in the real gameplay, and a neat PRESS BUTTON! overlay that even changes perspective with the camera angle at the moment.

Would much rather more QTEs be about timing than the surprise of which button to press.

Definitely agreed there, though generally I personally just would rather not have QTEs unless they're part of the basic gameplay rather than a surprise in the middle of some cutscenes.

I hate QTEs that waste your time, like during a special enemy fight where they want you to do a finishing move, and if you gently caress up the prompts they get a bunch of health back. It's so frustrating. Just give some kind of bonus for succesfully doing the QTE like extra money or something, and if you gently caress it up, the enemy still dies, you just don't get the big reward for the flair. I mean, I still took all his health off, that should be enough.

Yakuza is the only series that gets how to do QTEs mid-fight and everyone else should be banned from doing so.

I like the final boss in Aggelos because it's not like the other bosses, where with all the upgrades you can just slam them into the ground with ease. The final boss, because you have to wake up his weak point at each stage before actually damaging him, makes you get good at avoiding his attacks or you just won't manage to outlast him. Also I like that enemies you haven't come across just come up as ? in the credits with a silhouette, I think that only happened to me with Shadow Mouse because I never found it.

You press triangle and Kiryu swings a man at a light pole or pours salt in the guys face or beats him with a bicycle/scooter or force feed them a box of nails. Kazuma Kiryu has never killed anyone.

I finally got around to playing FF15 on PC recently, and I have to say I actually laughed when Prompto sang the classic Final Fantasy victory theme after I killed some wolves that tried to ambush me. I know the game is going to disappoint me later, but I appreciate how at this stage it's making me feel like the various characters have their own personality sperate from what the player can see.Neddy Seagoon posted:That's exactly how I saw it too. Jacob pissed her off, now some poor brawler three times her size is going to get his arm broken in three places and all the tendons torn to shreds. I'm not going to lie, I thought I had a high tolerance for viewing virtual pain and then I saw Evie just permanently cripple a few workers just looking for a bit of extra money and even I flinched. On the other hand there was something immensely satisfying when I saw how many bones she could break in one combo.

moosecow333 posted:While I wouldn’t want the choice forced on me I’d love to see a game that gives you the option to continue being a drone to the system and have actual gameplay or story ramifications as a result. Maybe something like Way of the Samurai where it’s a short overall story but with tons of different choices in it. The Avatar game that came out for the James Cameron movie lets you choose early on to continue to be human (which plays like a third person shooter) or side with the Na'vi (which plays more like a brawler) and the plots are totally different. Dont play it though its not a good game.

I played at release and it had game pad buttons on a 360 controller, so I’m completely baffled by talk of a “foot button”. Unless they were using some off-brand controller and it went to some kind of generic prompt, but usually it defaults to 360 buttons.

All I’ve been doing is quests and hunts and fishing. I am painfully overleveled. I just got to Altissia in chapter 9 and I’m level 64 or some junk.

Should you be petting animals while they're in adventure mode, though? Like if I was on some heroic quest and people kept rubbing my belly and scratching behind my ears and massaging my shoulders actually you know what that sounds pretty terrific.

RBA Starblade posted:The modern plot is a huge wet fart but it's still very clever that at the end of Assassin's Creed 2, while Ezio is talking to the Precursor who's basically just leaving a voice mail for Desmond in the future, she's looking straight into the camera instead of at Ezio the whole time, because she knows the Animus gets invented and Desmond's playing in a third-person perspective I enjoy that in a world of people called Cesare, Leonardo and Lorenzo, Ezio has to say something like "What? Who is this... Deeeeesmand?" muscles like this! posted:Speaking of AC games, I like how in AC:O they don't have male/female versions of armor and Kassandra just wears men's stuff too. OTOH in Syndicate, when you either find or unlock the Aegis armour that only fits Evie, you get a great little exchange with Jacob commenting that he doesn't think it's quite his size and Evie replies "plus you'd look a right tit in it".
